Where can I buy/order man-made diamonds?

[Jumpem]

I <3 the gf. She doesn't care if I get one. It makes sense to me since it IS a diamond, just onot one dug out of the ground. I could get her a better ring for a lower price, so I don't see a con to it.

Thanks! 🙂

right, it is better than a CZ as man-made diamond won't scratch like CZ.

And a man-made diamond is a real diamond. they have the same chemical structure.

International Business Machines makes them

I used to have links to two places that sold them online but lost the link. I know at least two US companies were making them. One in Florida and other in Boston, Mass. When I checked the prices, it was around 30-40% cheaper than natural ones.

i thought the man-made ones were yellow? Have they been able to make clear diamonds?

Yes, they are indistinguishable, even to experts. DeBeers makes a machine that can tell the difference. The way it does, is it that it doesn't find any defects in the stone that natural diamonds have.

DeBeers days are numbered. I can't wait until they start using diamonds on regular cheap PC machines. I bet it will happen in my lifetime.

Seems like they can only make clear diamonds up to 1 carat. They anticipate 2 carat by next year.

CZ is very hard to distinguish from a real diamond, using the naked eye, at least, but the advantage with the is that is you get a D color, IF, in the 0.01>5.00 carat range, it's hard to tell the difference between them both, and they can often be cheaper (though they are sold at a price similar to diamond). The only advantage with CZ is that you can make stones that are up to 100 carats in size, and that is the only way that someone would know that it is a CZ (because a 100 carat diamond is hard to find)

I agree. DeBeers is the embodiment of an evil international corporation. Their management should be brought up on charges of genocide.
